I wondered if you might know of someone with the requisite background /
experience and interest in the following very exciting opportunity that
a client of ours is looking to fill.

Position: Director of Software Quality
Company: Medical Management – Nimble – Early-stage – Poised for Explosive Growth
Location: Ohio

This

Development, Testing, and Release, assuring that proper systems and
controls are instituted and maintained concerning all facets of product
testing and release. This position has direct responsibility for all
Quality activities.

The incumbent will direct the activities
of the Quality function to ensure an economical operation and
performance in accordance with established Corporate Quality standards
and Regulatory requirements as they relate to all facets of the
business.

 Current or very recent experience working for a company in the software industry.
 Experience managing and implementing Agile, Test Driven Development and Quality practices.
 Heavily focused on test automation and policies and procedures to support highly automated and nimble organizations.
 5+ years experience managing a Quality organization for a commercial, enterprise scale software product.
 10+ years of increasingly more responsibility within Quality organizations.
 Ability to direct with a hands-on collaborative style.
 Knowledge and experience with available testing tools and software including:

◦ Mercury Tools.

The
ideal candidate for this position will know how to be strategic and
tactical which generally comes from working in small to larger
organizations. Our client is seeking someone who has demonstrated that
he/she is a Quality Assurance Department leader – someone who has built
out a successful/ effective QA Department – who knows what that looks
like and how it functions. Also, given that this is a smaller company,
one must be able to roll up one's sleeves – e.g., write test scripts
when necessary.

For a full description of major duties and responsibilities – please contact: Karla Hammond; or,
if this describes your background and interests and you would like to
pursue this position, please email your resume to me at:

position is not of interest to you professionally - but you can suggest
others in the Software Quality community, I would really appreciate any
assistance in my networking efforts. For example, are there software
quality user groups or networking groups which you are a member of to
